I recently bought myself a Cowon J3 ;) and am astounded by the sound quality, especially the bass. I listen to a lot of hardcore-genre music, hence a lot of deep bass parts. I have set up my EQ to get that deep "pounding" bass, and I love it.

There's only one problem though; I can't really enjoy that audio quality without a proper set of IEMs, however I'm not willing to spend a great deal of money on something that, knowing me, I'm going to break in < 1 year. After doing some browsing, my eye has settled on the Sennheiser CX 270 In-ear phones. They seem ideal: cheap(ish), apparently great bass, and they come from a renowned name.

So, I guess my question is, are they suitable? Is there any flaws I'm overlooking?
I know It's only about $50 altogether, but I'd just like to be sure. :D

Thanks in advance!

Sennheiser is great and all, but I don't think much of their cheap IEMs.

Consider these or look at some of the other threads that talk about cheap IEMs (there are many in this section).
